In October 2021, E. Christopher Clark is participating in not one but three art-making challenges, mashing together Inktober, Spooktober, and Melloween in an effort to get back into a daily drawing practice.
Each challenge involves making something with a given one-word prompt for each day in October (with Inktober specifically requiring the something to be a drawing).
The drawings you see below may eventually develop into full-fledged bits of worldbuilding, but for now Chris is focusing on the drawings alone.
01: Crystal + Moon + Zombies
02: Suit + Hunt + Aliens
03: Vessel + Blood + Leaves
04: Knot + Mist + Pumpkins
05: Raven + Hollow + Black Cats
06: Spirit + Glow + Witches
07: Fan + Grave + Vampires
08: Watch + Stone + Familiars
09: Pressure + Ice + Werewolves
10: Pick + Rune + Ghosts
11: Sour + Bone + Haunted Houses
12: Stuck + Rot + Cryptids
13: Roof + Wild + Found Footage
14: Tick + Ghast + Candlelight
15: Helmet + Fang + Vintage
16: Compass + Dance + Bats
17: Collide + Shiver + Spooky Tech
18: Moon + Harvest + Bones
19: Loop + Crimson + Monsters
20: Sprout + Scent + Tarot
21: Fuzzy + Dust + In the Woods
22: Open + Flame + Cursed
23: Leak + Spore + Sideshow
24: Extinct + Dark + Possessions
25: Splat + Heart + Moonlight
26: Connect + Shiver + Nautical
27: Spark + Blade + Midnight
28: Crispy + Ruin + Urban Legends
29: Patch + Claw + Slasher
30: Slither + Shadow + Nostalgia Trip

Good luck, Chris!

Thanks! It was fun this morning. Hopefully it stays fun. If it doesn’t, hopefully I’ll be able to stop without feeling disappointed.
